Taylor Swift watches TV in a cage

The 20-year-old singer moved into a house in Nashville this summer, and insisted on the “person-sized” birdhouse, which is suspended over her pond in her living room and is her favourite place to snack and catch up on television shows. She said: “It’s just fun having the cage.”

The ‘Love Story’ hitmaker turns 21 – the legal age of alcohol consumption in the US – in December but admits she won’t be getting intoxicated as she is afraid of upsetting someone when drunk. She said: “I don’t drink because I don’t really feel like it. It’s not like I judge people who do or that I don’t hang out with people who drink, I just don’t really feel like it.

“I think the reason I haven’t experimented with drinking is that I don’t like to feel like I might say something that could hurt somebody’s feelings. Or I might come off in a way I can’t control.”

Sarah Harding is “cynical” when it comes to marriage and romance

The Girls Aloud beauty – whose parents split when she was 14 years old – has been in a relationship with DJ Tom Crane for three years but is still unsure if he is her soulmate.

She said: “I’ve thought I’d met The One previously. But as you grow up, you get to know who is a good partner for you. “Tommy could be my soulmate. I think time is a great test. I’ve learnt over the years not to think that straight away because you’re in the honeymoon period. I used to become infatuated with people, but it would end before the honeymoon period was over and I’d be left devastated. Now I’m a bit cynical when it comes to relationships and marriage, probably because of my own family history. When the time’s right I think we’ll know.”

The 28-year-old singer doesn’t plan to get married until she’s in her 30s, because she’s busy focussing on her career right now. She said: “Maybe I haven’t got the same strong values at Tom when it comes to marriage., I just think when the time’s right we’ll know. When would I fit in a wedding when I’m working al the time?

“My mum got married quite young, and I think I’d like to wait until I’m in my 30s. Your 20s are about sorting out your career.”

Lindsay Lohan — No Tricks, Yes Treats

Lindsay Lohan won’t be going door-to-door asking for treats this year — instead she’s having the candy come to her.

Sources close to LiLo tell TMZ she’s been receiving care packages of candy at Betty Ford from some of her closest friends. We’re also told Dina Lohan, her sainted mother, is scheduled to visit today and plans to bring a few things to satisfy Lindsay’s sweet tooth.

As for Halloween in Betty Ford, we’re told patients aren’t permitted to trick or treat from unit to unit and they don’t dress up — unless they just happened to pack a costume for their rehab stint.

That’s a shame … Lindsay would have made a great Snooki for Halloween.

Sir Paul McCartney helped Jack White get over his nerves before playing in front of Barack Obama

The ex-Beatles singer and songwriter who was at the White House to collect the US Library of Congress’s Gershwin Prize for Popular song earlier this year decided to sit in on rehearsals before the White Stripes star performed ‘Mother Nature’s Son’ for both him and the US president.

Paul, 68, explained: “There was a rehearsal first of all in the afternoon, and I came in and Jack’s standing there, and I could see he was nervous, so I thought actually it would be good for them to have a rehearsal with me sat there.

“Get over the nerves, because it’s going to be worse he’s going to be sitting there and Michele and the kids and then all the crowd. But I thought Jack’s performance was great, very sensitive.”

Paul played his track ‘Got to Get You Into My Life’ at the same concert, while Stevie Wonder†gave his rendition of Paul’s ‘We Can Work it Out’ and Elvis Costello played ‘Penny Lane’.

Taylor Swift likes a man to “take charge” in her relationships

The ‘Love Story’ singer whose ex-boyfriends include Taylor Lautner and Joe Jonas hates having to be dominant in a relationship but likes to have her own voice heard. She said: “I want a guy who takes charge, but lets me have my say once in a while. “A good relationship is all about balance and chemistry.”

The 20-year-old beauty is currently single but insists she never goes looking for love. She explained: “I don’t wake up in the morning and think, ‘Am I going to find a boyfriend today?’ I think it’s more exciting if it’s right in front of you and you can’t ignore it, with someone who has this unexplainable draw.”

The singer famously uses her relationships as material for songs but insists it doesn’t make her boyfriends treat her any differently. She said: “Every guy who walks in my life has had fair warning that this is what I do. I’ve been this way for three albums. “It’s easy for guys to forget that I write about everything because it’s my job and they’re in a relationship with me.”

What Oksana and Mel Are Really Fighting Over

The real fight between Oksana Grigorieva and Mel Gibson may not be about child custody at all … we’ve learned the various lawyers who have been repping Oksana have been focused on a legal document created long before Lucia was born.

TMZ was first to report the problem with the Icon Trust — created by Mel and Robyn to provide for their seven children. The trust defines “issue” (aka children) as kids born from Mel or Robyn. When it was drafted, no one thought Mel or Robyn would have a child outside the marriage. Enter Oksana.

Sources connected with Mel and Robyn say no one in their family wants to screw Lucia out of her inheritance, but if she becomes a beneficiary in Mel’s trust it would create some complicated tax issues.

So when Oksana and Mel broke up and struck a settlement deal during the mediation in May, the very first term reads, “Oksana consents to amendment of Icon Trust to exclude Lucia.”

In return for excluding Lucia, Mel agreed to provide a financial package for the baby worth more than $8 million.

Sounds like a sweet deal. So why did Oksana disavow the mediation she signed? We’re told the lawyers Oksana hooked up with after the mediation believed Lucia got royally screwed by giving up an interest in the trust. They told Oksana that Lucia would stand to get around $50 million under the trust agreement … which they believe represents 1/8 the value of a $400,000,000 trust.

Sources connected with Gibson tell us the money in the trust is not even in the universe of $400,000,000 … not remotely close.

But here’s the deal. If Oksana’s lawyers persist and Mel settles out of court, the attorney would get a percentage of the settlement. So they’ve convinced Oksana there’s something in it for her … and there’s something in it for them.

‘Sister Wives’ Halloween — Braving the Elements

Even polygamists enjoy a little Halloween action — and TMZ has learned the entire crew from “Sister Wives” are getting in on the devilish festivities … 21 costumes in all.

We’re told the Brown family will be hitting up a costume party on Sunday — and the four wives will be dressed up like earth (Janelle), air (Christine), fire (Meri) and water (Robyn).

As for fifteen of their sixteen kids (it’s hard to keep up with them all) — we’re told they’ll be disguised as two vampires, one hippie, two nerds, one goth fairy, one regular fairy, one zombie, an M&M, Cleopatra, a gangster, an angel, a mobster, a “Twilight” vampire, and one “ugly mask.”

And last but not least — we’re told Kody has yet to make up his mind about an outfit … which probably explains why he has FOUR WIVES.

Julianne Moore has vowed not to have cosmetic surgery

The 49-year-old actress insists she would still feel her age, regardless of how her appearance changes, and she is unsure any medical procedures would even make her look younger.

She said: “First and foremost, I’m an actor and so I don’t want to do anything to my face. “I can do whatever I want, and I’m still going to be 49 years old, it’s not going to change anything. “I don’t know that I’m going to look any younger, I’m just going to look like I’ve had something done to my face.”

The ‘Kids Are Alright’ star – who has children Caleb, 12, and eight-year-old Liv with husband Bart Freundlich – also spoke of how much more pleasure she gets from life now she is a mother. She added: “Motherhood makes it bigger and fuller and larger.

“I don’t think you really understand as a younger person that your life experience is going to be that meaningful. I had no idea that all this experience and all my interactions, and my parenting, and my marriage, how all that profoundly changes you, how far forward you go emotionally, with all of them.”

Christina Hendricks dyed her hair red to get attention

The ‘Mad Men’ star – who is a natural blonde – admitted she was “obsessed” with children’s book ‘Anne Of Green Gables’ as a child and while she originally changed hair colour to look like her literary heroine, she realised the shade attracted attention.

She said: “When I was 10, I was obsessed with ‘Anne Of Green Gables’ and I wanted to have her beautiful red hair. So my mother said, ‘Let’s just go to the drugstore and get one of those cover-the-grey rinses!’ My hair was very blonde at the time but it went carrot red. I was over the moon – and I went back to that colour again and again.

“I’ve always attracted attention for the way I look and that’s not a bad thing if you’re trying to make your mark in the business. But after a while you just want people to notice you for your work!”

The curvaceous beauty revealed while her UK size 14 figure makes it difficult to find designers who will give her dresses, she always chooses outfits she thinks are “pretty”, regardless of their style. Christina added: “At the end of the day, you have to remind yourself to wear the things you love – go with what you think is pretty. I’m still struggling to get designers to give me some dresses.

The Chemical Brothers want to collaborate with Noel Gallagher on his solo album

The dance duo have worked with the rock star on two tracks – ‘Setting Sun’ and ‘Let Forever Be’ - and have also remixed songs for Oasis and insist they are ready to help him now he has left the band.

Tom Rowlands said: “It’s up to Noel, we won’t force ourselves upon him. But, obviously, we’d be up for it if we got the call, he’s a great musician. It would be churlish not to see what the man had to say and what his ideas were.”

The ‘Hey Boy Hey Girl’ hitmakers have also moved away from their electro roots to work on a film score for Joe Wright’s new movie.
Tom admits it was great to be asked to contribute to the film – which is believed to be ‘Indian Summer’, which is based on the book ‘Indian Summer: The Secret History of the End of an Empire’ by Alex von Tunzelmann – because it’s a new challenge for him and bandmate Ed Simons.

Tom added to BANG Showbiz: “We’re working on some music for Joe Wright’s new film as well. He’s got a movie coming out next year and we’re working on the score for that. The music is going to be contemporary and it’s heavy, it’s brilliant. It’s something different and exciting that we’ve been offered. It’s fun to be able to do something that’s completely different. When we work together to make music to play live or DJ with there’s a different mindset to when a director says I’ve got this scene and I’m trying to communicate these feelings. It’s interesting it makes music varied and fun.”

The Chemical Brothers have also written and produced some music for Darren Aronofsky’s new film ‘Black Swan’, which stars Natalie Portman and Mila Kunis as ballet dancers in a New York production of ‘Swan Lake’.

Robert Pattinson wears the same thing every day

The ‘Twilight Saga’ hunk loves shopping in thrift stores but admits his fame makes it difficult to make many trips to expand his wardrobe.

He said: “I like kind of s***ty clothes most of the time. I like second hand. That’s another thing. I can’t really go into second hand stores to get new clothes any more so I end up wearing the same thing every day.

“I wish I could shop in vintage stores the whole time. But because a lot of paparazzi follow me around, it can be difficult.”

Though he prefers second hand clothing, the 24-year-old actor – who is dating his ‘Twilight Saga’ co-star Kristen Stewart – turns to designer Marc Jacobs when he is in need of red carpet wear.

He added: “At almost every single premiere I wear Marc Jacobs. It seems to be the only stuff that fits me.”
It has previously been claimed that the British star rarely showers and has upset cast and crew on the ‘Twilight Saga’ with his pungent body odour.

A source close to the star – who plays vampire Edward Cullen in the film franchise – previously said: “He stinks. I mean, it’s awful. He never showers, and it drives people on the set crazy. He completely reeks.”

The TooFab Q&A: Christian Siriano

Former “Project Runway” winner Christian Siriano has been so busy with his ready-to-wear collection, and now, the launch of his new Web site SendTheTrend.com, that when asked by TooFab if he tuned in this season, he admitted, “Not really…I think it will always be a great show and has a great fan following.”

And following last night’s season finale, during which Gretchen Jones emerged the winner, TooFab asked which front runner had been his favorite — Jones, Mondo Guerra or Andy South — he was coy, telling TooFab, “They are all talented in their own way with very different styles so I can’t choose one.”

As for SendTheTrend.com, which he created with fellow fashionistas Divya Gugnani and Mariah Chase, the site asks visitors to take a “style survey” to ascertain their style (classic, edgy, bohemian, etc.) and the trio of glamazons then customize a selection of accessories for the customer, all for $29.95 each.

Here, he chats about SendTheTrend.com and his burgeoning empire:

Why did you decide to launch the Web site?

“It sounded like…something that would be cool and different for customers. And the free shipping aspect is amazing! And please, I like women to get dressed up and feel fabulous. You can’t do that without some jewelry!”

What are the hottest, top 3 accessories trends right now?

“Cat eye sunglasses, a fabulous oversized feminine necklace & statement shoes that are exciting and sculptural.”

How else do you want to expand the Christian Siriano brand?

“I’m always focusing a lot on my RTW collection, and thinking about expanding that internationally. Maybe doing a little more bridal because we do so many custom pieces.”

Would you want to launch your own fashion reality TV show?

“I’ve thought about it…It’s actually very hard to coordinate your entire life around a camera. I’m focusing on my brand and I have done plenty of TV, right?!”

Do you cringe when people still bring up your trademark expressions like Hot Tranny Mess?

“I haven’t heard that in forever! It’s funny. It was best when Amy Poehler did it!”
